Lowe Art Museum exhibits The Portrait Transformed

Through Jan 17, 2016

The Portrait Transformed explores the evolution of portraiture from final quarter of the 1700s until the present, featuring 151 rare portrait drawings and oil sketches. Among the highlights are a late eighteenth-century work by Jacques-Louis David, four works by Lucian Freud, and Aubrey Beardsley’s decadent India ink portrait of Oscar Wilde.

The Portrait Transformed also boasts a fine range of self-portraits, many of which are expressed metaphorically like in the case of Adolph Menzel’s right hand drawn or Maximilien Luce’s self-portrait. It is also included Alfred Hitchcock’s famous profile seen by millions in the introduction to his television series “Alfred Hitchcock Presents.”
